Paul & Laura-Marie

Experienced and Caring House Sitters with a Love for Animals

Hello! We’re Paul and Laura-Marie, a responsible and animal-loving couple with a wealth of experience in both house and pet sitting. Our passion for travel and animals has taken us around the world, allowing us to care for a variety of homes and pets along the way.

Why Choose Us?

Extensive Experience: We’ve lived in various parts of the world, including the UK, Thailand, Taiwan, and France, where we’ve cared for homes, gardens, and a wide range of pets. From looking after cats and dogs in Asia to maintaining a large property in rural France, we’ve done it all.

Animal Lovers with Hands-On Experience: We’re avid users of Airbnb, and through our travels, we often meet new furry friends. We’ve cared for three cats during our time in Taipei, a dog named Shadow on Koh Samui, and a Golden Retriever named Buster in France. We’re currently looking after a French Bulldog named Frank in Maidstone.

Paul (currently a teacher) has also worked at a prestigious boarding kennels and gained unique experience working alongside wild animals at Port Lympne and Howletts in Kent (as a fundraiser!). Laura-Marie’s background as a receptionist and animal care assistant at an emergency vets further solidifies our ability to provide exceptional care.

Trustworthy and Reliable:

We’ve lived in Canterbury for many years (graduating from UKC and Christchurch), where we had a wonderful rescue cat: Roy, from the Ashford Cats Trust, also looking after a friend's cat (Johnny) for many months while she travelled. We understand the importance of trust when it comes to your home and pets. We’re dedicated to keeping your home just as you left it and ensuring your pets are happy and well-cared for.

A Bit About Us

We’re a couple who believes in living with integrity, kindness, and clear communication. We take pride in keeping a clean and organized space and treat every home with the utmost respect. In our downtime, we enjoy exploring new places, spending time outdoors, and of course, playing with and caring for animals.

We own our own transport and know Kent extremely well. Laura-Marie is from Maidstone and Paul has worked all over Kent as a fundraiser.

What We Offer:

- Tailored care for your pets, including daily walks, feeding, and lots of affection.
- Home security and routine maintenance - gardening if you wish!
- Regular updates and communication to keep you informed.
- A calm, trustworthy presence that ensures peace of mind while you’re away.
- We aim to work on a first-booked, first-served basis, as we understand you might want to meet / speak to multiple sitters before you decide. We're of course happy to be a reserve so long as we're still available and can move around Kent quickly on short notice.
